The program began with lectures and a tour of the Gochang-gun Residential Agricultural Startup Support Center, followed by listening to experiences of returning to farming and rural life through a visit to a blueberry farm, and a hands-on experience making gochujang at the Togul Fermentation Agricultural Cooperative Corporation.
